    This document describes a lab experiment using Starburst candies to demonstrate the rock cycle. Students start by pressing together different colored Starbursts to form a sedimentary rock. They then apply heat and pressure to simulate metamorphism, creating a metamorphic rock. Finally, placing the "rock" in hot water represents igneous processes, forming an igneous rock. Students observe and record the changes at each step.

    Rock Cycle with Starbursts


    Rock are constantly being recycled over time. Find out how you can
    demonstrate the process using candy.

    Lab Materials: Starbursts, foil, wax paper, beakers, hot water, coloured pencils,
    textbook.
    Procedure:
    1. Unwrap your different coloured Starbursts.
    2. Stack all three Starbursts on top of each other, wrap them in wax paper,
    and put them inside the plastic bag and press them together. You may
    have to squish it with a textbook. Draw what you see.

    What type of rock have you created?

    How do you know?

    4. Now take your plastic bag with your rock inside and place it in the hot
    water (DO NOT PUT YOUR FINGERS IN THE WATER!!) for one minute. Take it
    out and apply pressure again. Draw what you see.
